I’m sure that the T6 as produced by Beechcraft is a lovely machine, but the
RAF’s procurement system tends to take a perfectly decent product and mess
around with it. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Government insisted on putting
some crappy home-grown engine into it, removing the rudder trim and disabling
the ejection seat.
I gather that they have done something similar with the new Grob 120 for
elementary flying training. It’s powerful machine with retractable
undercarriage but they have removed the ejection seat and the oxygen system, I
hear.
We should have learned from the mess we made of the F4: put a RR Spey in and
make it the draggiest F4 in the world, so the feeling was at the time.
